Using your logic, anyone loaning out a book they own should be criminally charged.
This line of thinking leads to the ludicrous existing patents that describe scanning the room to check how many people are in a room and once crossed a certain threshold, the movie or show automatically stops airing.
- achow 4y agoIsn't the difference very clear here: Subscription vs Ownership If you are paid member of a library, and the library has ToS which does not allow you to lend your book to anyone else, then yes you are at fault when you share.

The only reason this isn't much of a thing with ebooks is that if you use the bigger ebook services you don't really own the books in the first place.
